Well, lets face it, the best way to get food is to become a cannibal. People are apparently much more stupid since the world became a giant trough of human beings driven to living on the extreme edge, which is not as glamorous as it sounds. Too many times travelers fall for prey to cannibal tribes who reportedly rarely go hungry. For those who cannot stomach that, there are limited options. Hunting and foraging are the most typical forms of keeping ones belly filled now when in the wasteland. Some settlements have rudimentary markets, but even rarer is a large scale farm. The most common food is squirrel and deer meat, which are no longer easy to get now that deer have developed a taste for human flesh.
For edible plants, loss of large scale farming and agriculture world-wide have forced many to either rely on foraging cults who sometimes trade at settlements, or grow their own food, the most common being giant radioactive mushrooms that thrive everywhere. Many believed that looting stores and supermarkets would sustain them after the chaos. It is an idea that is devalued every time a smart wastelander drives by a store filled with corpses crawling out, having spent their last moments hoping to find a can of beans. All food has long since been looted from stores, remember that, and spend energy looking for food in proper places.
